“Paraphrase of being 'selected before the foundation of the world.'”
A Sunday teaching on spiritual gifts and manifestation: believers are called to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to manifest God’s power with humility, order, and unity; practical ministry updates and invitations (baptism, giving, convocation, leadership transitions) accompany the message.
“Write this down: the Lord works according to the counsel of his will.”
A Bible study on prophetic vision (Habakkuk 2:1) defining vision as "God's preferred plan." The speaker emphasizes that vision must be received from God, requires standing watch, humility, waiting, present faithfulness, and the re-education of perception so your priorities, loyalties, and obedience align with God's revealed will.
“"I do not cease giving thanks for you...that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened" (Ephesians 1:16-19 read).”
Pastor Kim Owens urges Fresh Start Revival to prepare for a new season by being reconditioned as 'fresh wineskins'—pliable, saturated in God's presence, and free from complaint, entitlement, and religious rigidity—so they qualify in the 'census of a new generation' to carry increased glory and mission to the nations.
“May He open the eyes of your understanding... begin to expect the eyes of your understanding to open, that you'll have clarity of knowing.”
A Bible-study message on kingdom strategy: how to move from God's vision to sustainable results by discerning the end, assessing present reality, building backwards, aligning people/resources/timing, measuring progress, executing with flexibility, and developing endurance under pressure.
““The eyes of your heart that they may be enlightened.” I don't want you to walk in the dark like everyone else is in the dark.”
Pastor Steve Wilburn (Core Church LA) preaches from Ephesians 4 on how Christians are to "learn to walk" with Christ: beware false teaching, lay aside the old sinful ways, and intentionally put on the new, Christlike life. He calls believers to mature discipleship by testing teaching against Scripture, repenting, replacing harmful habits (lies, crude speech, theft, uncontrolled anger) with truth, kindness, work, forgiveness, and holiness, and issues an invitation for spiritual renewal.
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you will know what is the hope of his calling... and what is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe.”
Pastor Kim Owens urges Fresh Start Revival to prepare for a new season by being reconditioned as 'fresh wineskins'—pliable, saturated in God's presence, and free from complaint, entitlement, and religious rigidity—so they qualify in the 'census of a new generation' to carry increased glory and mission to the nations.
“The same power that rose Jesus from the dead lives in us.”
A sermon teaching the 'threefold cord'—a twin motif: the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and the trio love, hope, faith—presented as a practical, integrated formula for prayer, family life, healing, and spiritual success.
“Quotation from the Passion translation: "I pray that you'll continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God's power... This is the mighty power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead."”
Phil Dooley's Resurrection Sunday message teaches that believers are 'resurrection people'—called to allow Jesus to roll away the stones covering the dark, dead places in our lives so his light can bring standing up and recovery. Using the story of Lazarus, he draws four practical insights: see God's bigger purpose, expect both hope and controversy, pursue deep relationships, and keep moving forward. The sermon concludes with an invitation to respond, a reading of Psalm 23, and an offer of a New Testament.
“Paraphrase of Ephesians 1: 'When Jesus Christ was raised, he's seated at the right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion... and he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church.'”
Pastors Josh, Paul, and Carlos discuss whether "generational curses" are biblical, distinguishing between punitive consequences, generational influences/strongholds, and the Christian's standing in Christ.

“Ephesians chapter 1, 22 to 23.”
A Bible teaching on the theme “The Church, Glorious and Triumphant” defining the church as the called-out assembly built on the confession of Christ, explaining what makes the church glorious (the glory of Christ, equality, and a bond of love) and stressing practical outworkings: genuine fellowship, baptism of the Holy Ghost, nurturing new converts, and growth in love and holiness.
